DUAL CLUTCH

摘要

A dual clutch for coupling an engine-side input shaft with a first transmission-side output shaft and/or a second transmission-side output shaft comprises a first clutch having a first pressure plate for coupling with a first clutch disk connected to the first output shaft, said first pressure plate being axially mobile relative to a first counter plate. The dual clutch further comprises a second clutch having a second pressure plate for coupling with a clutch disk connected to the second output shaft, said second pressure plate being axially mobile relative to a second counter plate. A co-rotating clutch cover is connected to the first counter plate and the second counter plate. The dual clutch further comprises an actuator for displacing the first pressure plate and/or the second pressure plate. According to the invention, the actuator is radially supported on the input side on the input shaft by the clutch cover and a torsional vibration damper which is indirectly or directly connected to the clutch cover, especially a flexible disk, and is radially mounted on the output side on one of the output shafts and/or on a transmission housing, thereby simplifying the design of the dual clutch, especially making a simplified absorption of the forces generated during actuation possible.
